you. Thank [Operator Instructions].

first question Terence comes Our from Goldman Flynn Sachs. with

open. now is line Your

Terence Flynn

KIT-driven first, next NAVIGATOR Thanks FDA you that us front? was that did Jeff, Thanks. solely that you remarks some avapritinib see in second-line the then And Hi. trial fourth-line during that be you you’re or Maybe dialogue as Can what on for mentioned to well. GIST the question. mentioned taking filing on if tell for based be a also your the Great. XXXX? have want just data on going you to this decision a avapritinib, with And into guys you would do for in to data GIST, there study? the advance that pivotal

Jeff Albers

onto the Thanks, one and the then first Terence. I’ll question take I’ll pass Andy. second

an regulatory of So as with filing any it’s both data accumulation and feedback.

as And on so there and currently obviously and we general GIST position makes GIST on clear we we data medical fourth-line which second to-date, year. no and and data clinical of would around you view and in sense the provide line feedback still based to updates concrete evaluate patients data when are is like. where have more one share it we’ll to that in hand gather this later We have that with path need we’ll treatments, the we’ll study available continue are look PDGFRα in And the was And then filing. that into a our the second that. blend the know question fourth-line forward what more

Andy Boral

Thanks, Terence.

study this genetic patients on focus with before said plan trial year. potential line on decision subset on two look like or where to degree as this update in against [ph] either later initiate the very in a XXXX something later data So high be could in a arm have to the would be we second-line a at study study will continue a focus on when we’ve we and in on that activity we that data-driven is a year. well – there could of see and approach. CTEN based it all to as enroll arm that The results and avapritinib disclose randomized comers the We that we of general selection NAVIGATOR does we really prompt second plan the will the

Jeff Albers

be either a Yes, case registration -- but would that in

Andy Boral

agree. I

Operator

you. Thank

Chico Our from with James. comes next question Raymond Laura

line now open. Your is

Laura Chico

little Rydapt, have about I Xx and data. If around I focus think question. Hi. look and pertinent you did still there. the help guess that me Good it at thanks bit and for Thanks a I you the PRs it’s SM. on I’m rate, can EHA for two Rydapt comments morning. looks just context into wondering put the label taking like Andy, versus on against I if CRs a higher. just response the

basis? that going estimating CRH I then but should CR/PR missed you’re that and on it that PATHFINDER the mentioned follow that be the how you’re range. I kind we am PATHFINDER. I responses you got exploring wanted in thinking on know potential dosing be using well in? one how understand Thanks. I as So But there. lower to might we clarity much study? planned And And doses on the yet just PIONEER curious, up about I just correctly don’t fits think have of to in a

Jeff Albers

Laura. Thanks,

I the It’s It’s imagine was the And there XX%. funny; excess that in an should cut. question. coming there the either is number. CRH your remember based low So said important about that’s XX% SM CR/PR data, we comparable response in and CI, at terms systemic on the XX% rate again in of when mastocytosis The to in a U.S. EXPLORER CR/PR. rate emerging, I where question about look the data that’s response XXs. of label see the so and is ours XX% exact midostaurin. from and we in I is as in and midostaurin from that’s was It’s

And CRH always make One, because CRH, points. I them call CRs. a So it of the of they we not, either or CR/PR whether together doesn’t guess are I want CR/PR. they’re include – you to PRs will out couple are CRH incorporating CRH or into

really that’s the strong affect field completely leukemia acute patients has blood recovered. not cell have or that CR/PR recommendation the platelet complete hemoglobin they count doesn’t count their but the and mast initial that’s it And total of from now So their The case with recovery or complete commonly CRH CRH is of cells that mast in in counts, of their of the investigators of their other burden where lack resolution leukemia. rate. taken our if resolution used have a

that’s do systemic an So think in we and as advanced well. endpoint mastocytosis important relevant

we we far of chronic reported recently avapritinib both once to SM decided milligrams an as activity the we ASH study, use in proceed across PATHFINDER optimize day to So very have support avapritinib as in We’ve advanced in with a range potent anticipate these as with used EHA of a wide the dose XXX and patients. in order at us and be seen gives to luxury this to at doses dosing that PATHFINDER.

So a be will XXX it milligrams day.

Operator

Thank you.

comes question from and next Company. Cowen Our Frahm Marc with

now is line open. Your

Marc Frahm

of just that kind to up Maybe identifying efficacy at of lower surprising burdensome your that match does lower the better the more the section the you’re certainly have as and about making you first these the up for to Yes. retain dose lower going their signals efficacy patients doses tolerability been dosing. going and a on give indolent see at what to should there where for particularly us of started those some parts disease PROs, doses robust to to I maybe something But setting. truly confidence chronic that of of you’ve patients? to kind with follow are understand most smoldering in when kind question is you’ve last through disease,

Jeff Albers

and question the on blend a the – the the talk tool then decision little about do together. obviously take and part around XXX they milligrams I’ll they PRO bit of Maybe first question Andy

the XXXX, when then in XXX day a we’re that starting per shared evidence clinical to up, escalation, we we at first doses saw as the moving low as reminder and of dose at range. milligram the up XX all Just data doing milligrams as ASH benefits

are in into and PATHFINDER advanced but response that where rigid you is. virtually look with you that so is that about you a when And some clinical where And the get optimal can’t what a have efficacy rate luxury the confirming push you when what’s situation used at higher afford benefit Andy word setting, we patients a very a we than of all to dose sit. XX% criteria, does flexibility think striking

investigators view our driven this to is our with to that that milligrams. were benefit we and maximal really get starting XXX work by seeing So closer was

will do feels So it that’s a deescalate evaluate you’re to talking to like go about flexibility just therapy want to clinicians continue higher, and important. the always chronic want when But be do right step. they going they to to treatment, want

systemic have specific bit And piece So both across I what DXXXV a think mastocytosis. we was and that of on. about the potent is then inhibitor of the very we’re more the PRO the clearly span blends a to little focused which the driver second of

Andy Boral

think also about Marc, maybe just was correct the I me and lower it but particular in dose. ISM piece

SM So just looking – advanced dosing. than everyone remind the bit to actually at I quite the a I ISM we’re think dosing different want

So lower active if PIONEER Really there first will understand those active, patients the be a in life could is patients drug for normal on exploring we have therapy doses part expectancy that we be decades. the in the study. and an these substantially of

outcome – active actually is the tool is allow we’ll of updated this dose prolonged study very X going dosing when patient data detail of to data there, we more year. at EXPLORER and a look present lowest actually the range in XX to will course, criteria it’s critical just pretty ongoing The finding we criteria, to reported that describe – PRO – on So later potentially.

closely is two things. just similar maybe we’re and So SM I’ll give I’m We’ll criteria. The advanced the a on kinds Maybe ISM bit PRO. at actually related looks see of – symptoms fair mixing PRO detail the our far from that improving that data we of EXPLORER, relevant that we the are pretty confident so from just PRO that say we’re developing. to

Marc Frahm

XXX? kind with lower. you up no there’s milligrams lower is with you blend? indolent pattern at matching are design the of PRO guess real sarcastic is that disease or efficacy those that setting [ph] is and see my question symptoms I which right, advanced XX But do of it of we much the see patients, the at data and XX have, the kind milligrams improvement improving to – aspects signs Is sound things as in disease they of as than more you what for for see your you’ve more

Andy Boral

GI It’s with you very related around we which want indolent of see in disease. line would I is are dramatic the is to mast we important bone compartments; Patients of think in to thing burden really the see fatigue and that that shows burden reductions due what the in where for whole blood be and spleen, is variety all symptoms have the and the issues the total patients the to spleen, drives enlarged often really. the – And marrow. body body who cell splenomegaly that counts.
